Groundbreaking for the Science and Engineering Building

Alamo Architects took part in the groundbreaking ceremony for UTSA’s new Science and Engineering Building on June 9th, 2017. Alamo and TreanorHL have designed this building, the largest construction project for UTSA to date.

“Among the building’s most unique features will be its magnitude of exterior and interior glass. Many of the laboratories in the building will be surrounded in glass so students and visitors walking by can see what’s going on, a concept referred to as science on display. The goal is to encourage interaction among students from different majors, creating opportunities for students and faculty members to connect with people who have different interests. In addition to engaging more students in research, the approach has shown to improve student retention and graduation rates.” ~UTSA
